Chemical Peels

What Is a Chemical Peel?

Here’s what to expect from a chemical peel by Morgan Creen

A chemical peel is a process of chemical exfoliation that can drastically improve the appearance and health of your skin. The process involves applying a light acid, such as alpha-hydroxy acid, or a medium acid, such as glycolic acid, to the face while avoiding the eyes and mouth.

All chemical peels require a bit of follow-up care, but the results are usually worth it. You should apply lotion or cream moisturizers as needed, as well as sunscreen—though avoiding sun exposure altogether is preferable and will speed healing.

Medical aesthetician Morgan Creen can perform both light and medium chemical peels made by Hale Cosmeceuticals and PCA Skin. Schedule your appointment today.

Is a Chemical Peel Right for Your Skin?

If you’re willing to perform follow-up care, the results are worth it.

While you’ve probably heard about the benefits of using chemical peels to fight wrinkles, both light and medium peels can improve other skin problems, as well. You could be a good candidate for a chemical peel if you have:

  • Acne scars
  • Age spots
  • Aging skin
  • Crow’s feet
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Melasma
  • Scars
  • Sun-damaged skin
  • Sagging skin
  • Wrinkles and fine lines

While not as mild as dermaplaning and nano-channeling, chemical peels provide a variety of powerful benefits. Chat with Morgan Creen today to determine if a chemical peel is the right addition to your anti-aging regimen.

Should You Choose a Light or Medium Chemical Peel?

Not sure if a light peel or a medium peel is right for you? Here’s what you need to know.

Light peels penetrate only the outer layer of skin and can improve the appearance of rough skin and mild skin discolorations. Healing time is usually short, and your medical aesthetician will tell you what to expect.

Medium peels penetrate the outer and middle layers of the skin and require the most aftercare. These peels remove damaged skin cells and can improve the look of rough skin, age spots, freckles, discolorations, wrinkles and fine lines. Expertly applied by Morgan Creen, these peels are extremely effective.
